From: Radiological findings of unilateral tuberculous lung destruction
A 73-year-old male with a history of pulmonary TB as a youth and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was seen for fever and purulent expectoration. Unenhanced multislice CT depicted complete left pulmonary destruction with residual cystic bronchiectasis associated with air-fluid levels (white arrow in the right image) and airway occupation with mucus impaction in the lower right lobe (black arrows in the left image). Sputum culture was positive for Pseudomona aeruginosa and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Antibiotic treatment was established without success, and the patient died 15 days after hospitalisation
